Vegan, Soy-Free, Wheat-Free

Ingredients

• 3 cups rice milk
• 6 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons margarine [such as earth balance]
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 2 apples — peeled, cored, and chopped
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries, raisins, or other berries
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
Spray a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray.
In a saucepan, combine the milk, brown sugar, margarine, and cinnamon and heat.
Meanwhile, combine the oats, chopped apple, cranberries, and nuts; spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Just before the "milk" mixture begins to boil, pour it evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the oatmeal is tender. Serve immediately or cool and place in the fridge for later use.
Makes 6 servings.
